ESPN rounds up the best soundbites from Austria as a dramatic race culminated in the Mercedes drivers colliding for the second time in 2016.
"I think those yellow kerbs in the fast corners are really dangerous."
Max Verstappen sets the tone for the weekend by complaining about Austria's kerbs during Friday practice -- several of his fellow drivers would be doing the same the following day.
"'No rain on the circuit, not even black clouds, so should be OK."
Fernando Alonso can strike weatherman off the "things to do after F1 list" as he makes this bold declaration moments before the heavens opened in Q2. He would fail to make the top-ten shootout as a result.
"That's a mega lap, a mega lap!"
Manor congratulates Pascal Wehrlein for his superb effort in qualifying as he claims 12th on the grid. He would go even better on Sunday, claiming the team's first points since Monaco 2014.
"Guys, think of bailing out. I have so much vibration."
Nope, not Nico Hulkenberg attempting his best Beach Boys rendition, but the German driver asking for a new set of tyres as his race continued to crumble despite a front row start.
"Good job Jenson, good job! Let's get Nasr now!"
As Jenson Button rolls back the years and charges through the field McLaren urges him to keep up the pace and attack the Sauber of Felipe Nasr -- he goes on to finish sixth.
"Why is he on a softer tyre than me?"
Lewis Hamilton, on the softs, questions why Rosberg was fitted with super-soft tyres at his final stop, forgetting Rosberg did not have any sets of soft tyres available.
"Okay Lewis, close that gap as much as you can -- it's hammer time."
A message we have not heard for a while. Hamilton's race engineer Peter Bonnington urges the world champion to close the gap to Rosberg -- had he known what was to follow, he might have kept quiet.
"OK Lewis, well done mate -- that's not the race we were after but a good result."
"Yeah, I was on the outside. It wasn't me who crashed."
Bonnington congratulates Hamilton without his usual post-race gusto and the world champion responds with a firm defence, insisting it was the driver of the other Mercedes who caused their controversial collision.
